There is definitely a “green wave” revolutionizing the auto industry. You can see this in the increase of energy efficient vehicles like hybrids, electric vehicles and innovations in tire technology like airless tires and low rolling resistance tires.
The tire industry is not traditionally known as environmentally friendly but significant strides have been made to reduce its carbon footprint and offer drivers with eco-conscious options.
You can make eco-friendly choices as a driver and tire buyer. We explain how!
ECO-FRIENDLY DRIVING PRACTICES
If we want to continue enjoying our beautiful planet, we need to work to keep it healthy and beautiful. You can do your part in a few easy ways.
Drive a green vehicle
Maintain proper air pressure
Schedule regular vehicle maintenance and inspections
Driving an electric or hybrid vehicle is one of the most impactful ways to eco-friendly living. When car shopping, consider fuel economy and CO2 emissions as vehicles with higher miles per gallon (mpg) and lower emissions help minimize their environmental footprint.
Electric vehicle owners also get the bonus of decreased fuel and maintenance costs compared to an internal combustion engine (ICE).
Proper air pressure is important in fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires cause the engine to work harder and reduce your overall fuel economy. Air pressure also directly contributes to vehicle safety and how long your tires last, so regularly check and maintain your tire pressure.
Regular service checks and maintenance, including oil changes and air filter replacements, keeps your engine running efficiently and cleanly. This reduces emissions and helps your vehicle perform at its best.
